We had so many people, it looked like red ants on a hill. We fully loaded 24-foot Budget and 26-foot U-Haul trucks.

We knew what we, and the people (of Payson), were doing was the right thing.

We had just about everything people who had lost their home and personal possessions would need. And it all came from the people in Payson; they are the real heroes in all this, not us.

Driving to Louisiana, we couldn't get there fast enough. Coming back, the adrenaline was gone.

We just drove from Payson to Louisiana, and that's nothing new -- it's what we do for a living.

The family had lost their home, everything in the flooding in southern New Orleans where they (once) lived.
